I’ve wanted to embroider some cushions for a while now so I’ve been putting some different colour ways together. I’m loving the super bright colours in my living room at the moment so want to add to that. The turquoise, magenta, gold, purple combo I think will look great for an Indian/Moroccan inspired circular design, maybe a combination of appliquéand embroidery. The slightly more muted tones below I think I’ll try some Crewel work style embroidery. So next stage is to find some suitable patterns and transfer them to the fabric.

My constant companion 🙂 She’s not exactly helpful but she rarely chases the wool so that’s a bonus and she makes a brilliant hot water bottle on a chilly night. In fact the only downside is that everything I knit has to have all the white fur removed before I wear it or give it away!
